All-platform journalist

Poynter's Romenesko had a link to a fascinating story by Philadelphia Week about a former Philadelphia Daily News photographer who is basically an all-in-one journalist covering the city on his site. He promotes his work through social-networking sites, but has yet to turn his labor into a money-making enterprise. He writes about his endeavors here. Apparently lots of people are paying attention and viewing MacMillan as an example of the future of journalism.

This is really interesting, particularly that the photographer's pictures were taken with an iPhone. I would have thought that the iPhone's picture quality wouldn't be good enough for most publications, but apparently timely is more important than superior quality.
